I am sure this has nothing to do with the fact that Trump said some vaccines work lol
Don't worry, next week the world's healthiest man will blame something else.
The guy so healthy he bathes in sewer water just to bring himself to normal levels? Or the guy so healthy he had to pay off a doctor to come up with a condition so he wouldn't fight in the military because it would make others look bad?

"We wanted the wrong answer to be our wrong answer!"
Somebody's uncomfortable at the thought of it being a genetic disorder, because that would mean losing the ability to blame someone else. I wonder how their children feel about their parents being like this.
Nah, they're fine with eugenics.
Imagine someone you love working so hard to find a reason for the way you are.
There's a lot worse parents do to autistic children. This doesn't even register for me.

Johnson & Johnson is a giant corporation with billions of dollars and I don't think they're gonna take defamation about one of their biggest products well.
They must have forgotten to pay the monthly fee to the great leader.
They had already spun off the brand as a separate company that was already not doing well.

My mom took an advil in 1982 and now I’m a gay liberal retard.
I love this conclusion.
On the one side, the Antivaxxers are pissed off. This alone is a great thing. Their hero and saint, their big hope basically bins them. Good.
On the other side, that Tylenol idea is easily debunkable. And I hope the brand owner Kenvue sues that administration to Kingdom Come for that. Autism is known since 1911, Tylenol is on the market since 1955. Even the dumbest of the MAGA-heads might notice that there is something wrong with that timeline.
That's why there's no autism in the rest of the planet. No Tylenol. We just use paracetamol, which is perfectly safe.
Paracetamol aka acetaminophen, has been around since the 1800s. Tylenol as a brand has only been around since 1955.
So while we all know this link is bullshit, the 1911 defence falls apart based on facts.
I think a better response is show me a peer reviewed study from actual researchers who follow actual scientific methodology and have not had to be retracted.
No. It was not developed until the 50's
Pretty confidently incorrect there.
For the cheap seats.

I mean, it also falls apart when you consider leukemia is older than smokable tobacco, or that death by falling is older than airplanes, but still. No, Tylenol doesn't cause autism, but things being older than other things does not mean anything with regards to increased risk.

I've seen that meme float around a LOT, and it's faulty.
Let's sharpen our thinking in-house first before we argue versus conservatives.
There's a big difference between "the rapid growth of autism cases is lead by Tylenol usage" and "autism is caused single-handedly by Tylenol"
You can bet every conservative who drinks the Kool aid will say that rfk is claiming the former, which isn't disproved by Tylenol being invented after autism cases.
"WAH, THEY DIDNT BASELESSLY BLAME THE THING I WANT TO BASELESSLY BLAME, CLEARLY THEY KNOW NOTHING!
I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE FOR 20 YEARS BY READING OTHER PEOPLES LUNATIC RAMBLINGS ON FACEBOOK! CLEARLY I'M THE EXPERT ON THIS! "
Are we supposed to just forget?”
This isn't just the "maha" wing, every faction in the incredibly loose coalition that got trump elected is starting to get pissed he hasn't done whatever lie he sold them.
Midterms are going to be a route
Don't threaten me with a good time... I've been hurt before
I wouldn't be so optimistic. The Democrats are not making any of the good noises, and all they've shown is a silent contempt to people offering change like Mamdani. I think the majority of them still believe they need to offer the same things as the last election, and that they just need to improve the PR, make it louder. And i fear they'll deafly crash. Again.
Grab a progressive in your area and make them shine. We dont need the dems if they are just going to kick their feet and lose this. This has got to be extremely easy because nobody got shit except billionaires. Everyone else is worse off.

They are just trying to determine exactly how gullible their anti-vax supporters are. So far they have believed every far flung conspiracy possible, why not this one?

The problem with appealing to the crazies, is that there's always someone crazier.
Everyone who has autism, every single person, breathes air.
COINCIDENCE???????
WE DRINK YOUR WATER, AND EAT YOUR TENDIES TOO
I love this so fucking much
If the guy whose brain was half eaten by a worm said it's Tylenol, he must be right.
Yay, it's definitely the oppressed minority, who had their brain destroyed, not the chronic smoker voiced brainwormer. We'll see how many rights we (the autistics all over the world) retain in the next few years.
Given how much of the QAnon-MAGA axis is rooted in trolling, this is entirely unsurprising.
Lol. Probably going bananas because of Tylenol.
WHEN IT WAS BANANAS THE WHOLE TIME.
You couldn’t make this shit up.
Beautiful. I love this so much.
